Fresh Stuff from Liliwenn in Brest, France
“The sad thing in this story… behind bars are living two homeless men with no more than a mattress. It’s a REAL ruin.. I didn’t know before, i saw them a lot inside when i was painting, and they were watching me sometimes, almost hidden in darkness, they seemed lost. They went outside only when i left, to watch the painting on the wall of their…… house. This area was so strange, people were atypical and very eclectic.”… Liliwenn.
